hey everyone,
i have been to an endocrinologist
and it has made a world of difference
my regular doctor prescribed me 25micrograms of synthroid
and told me to lose weight
i have been drinking two slim fasts a day and a sandwich usually
and snacking on fruit
i walk 4 times a week
i gained two pounds
i feel very sick
and i was sure another doctor was going to blame me
but he says that i may be having trouble because my dosage is not high enough and that i am probably insulin resistant (my father has type 2 diabetes)
i will find out for sure in a week or two
anyway, i was wondering if any of you know anything about insulin resistance and weight loss
because i am very unhappy with the way i look and feel
and would love to be 140 pounds and healthy
thanks in advance to everyone
this community has been a life saver
(it is the reason i've searched for a doctor who will listen to me!)
